In the O'Reilly book "DNS & BIND".
Anyway, for BIND 4, the secondary's named.boot contains lines
of the form
secondary do.main 1.2.3.4 zone.backup.file
(with 1.2.3.4 replaced by the IP of the server it should fetch
the zone from) where the primary's named.boot contains lines
of the form
primary do.main zone.file
The zone.backup.file is used to load zone data in case the
primary is unreachable when named starts, and is written shortly
after named has started and rewritten after a zone change was
propagated.
That's about all...
